Ambassador: What are you looking for? I'm wondering if you're thinking that you can reach Platinum without actually flying the miles. [If you figure that one out, please let us know.]

Currently, STL to SFO is on sale for $300... you can book STL to SFO direct and SFO - STL through JFK. You'll receive a total of 5,216 miles. 7 Day advance ticket with Saturday night stay. I could easily do this on the website.

I'm going to SFO next week but I decided NOT to do the JFK leg for the extra $3.50. I don't have enough time for that.

If your TA can figure a way to book that same ticket except with both ways through JFK, you'll receive a total of 6,956 miles for about $6 more. That's a deal if you have the time.

If you like football, plan it around the Rams / 49er's game in SFO and you'll have quite the weekend.
